It might make sense to have a theory of how he was cheating before accepting a rematch.
Magnus also has nothing to gain. If Magnus loses he looks like a jerk for accusing him of cheating, or an idiot for not being able to setup conditions that prevent him from cheating.
If Magnus wins, he proves nothing since he’s expected to win. All it proves is that the first game was a fluke and they’re ratings disparities are accurate.
- georgyo 4y agoSince Magnus is a chess grandmaster, are you saying that he applied his skills in real life? Apparently, even if this person was or was not cheating, refusing a rematch and calling him a cheater was the best possible move.
